Chapter 2 Cyron

A beautiful morning starts with nice sunshine and excellent breakfast. Carlaros wakes a bit early than usual. He has the plan to follow his father to a meeting with the King. Right now He is blended with excitement and anxiety. He hopes he will not ruin his family's reputation and he doesn't know what he needs to do in front of the king.

"Carlaros No need to be nervous about meeting the king. You don't need to speak anything unless someone asks you to alright? You will behave and observe our conversation. I hope you will learn a thing or two." Lord Sunbringer a tall, handsome eladrin speaks to his son and try to ease his nerve.

"Yeah brother. No need to worry too much. I trust you can always talk your way out of anything. For example the blonde elf at the ball…" A young female elf covers her mouth and pretends she is not laughing at his older brother.

"Roselia! You promised me you would never talk about it again. By the way, she came to me. First, I didn't start the...the conversation!" Carlaros is all red and mad. He stared at her sister and tried to stop her from keep talking.

"HaHaHa. You kids are always so full of energy. Roselia leaves your brother alone and Carlaros it is about time to go. The King is waiting for us." Lord Sunbringer leaves the table, and Carlaros follows with a glare at his sister.

The trip to King's palace is peaceful and quiet. Carlaros is still figuring what to do, but Lord Sunbringer seem to relax about this meeting. Lord Sunbringer enters the palace and Carlaros follows behind him.

A man is just leaving the king's office and both Sunbringer greeting to the man. He is Lord Theseus Aspro. There is rumor spreading around that says he tried to take over the control of this country, but rumors are just rumors before any prove they are just good tales in the bar. They both steps into the room and close the door behind. The King looks pleased to see them, and they discussed a lot of issue in the country. Carlaros stands next to them carefully processing the policy he heard.

"My dear friends, there is rumor around about danger to your family. I think to pay more attention to it."

"No needs to worry my king; Rumor is just rumor. See you My king "King nod his head a little and inform the guards to open the door.

What happens if a rumor is not just a rumor?

At dinner time the Sunbringer family is having a small family dinner. Roselia is still making fun of Carlaros about the ball, and he is too careful.

"It is good to be careful and stay alerts! Even the king has warned us!'

"Not when those things are not true. Just chill Carl, no need to worry about people attacking us. I mean who will do that anyway."

"Yes, I think I am in line with Roselia's idea." Lady Sunbringer is definitely on the support for her daughter.

"Sure, fine." Carlaros walks outside to take in some fresh air, but the anxious feeling don't leave his mind.

In the night time. Everyone is in bed to catch some sleep. Except for one elf. Carlaros is still awake he has the strong feeling something terrible is going to happen. He looks outside his window. He saw something he will never forget for the rest of his life. The flag of Theseus Aspro. When he is still wondering why he comes to his family's house so late without any message. Then he hears a massive BANG on the front door, and he saw the corpse of the guards lying on the doorway. Now the rumor is not a rumor. Not anymore. His family member is all awake. He sees his father going towards Theseus Aspro and tried asking what is going on. Theseus stabs a dagger into his father.

"NO!"

Not this dream again. Anything but this dream. The sunlight goes through the window of the ship and shines on the floor. It is morning already. My clothes are all soaked by the sweats. Everything feels like it just happened. Father, Mother, and Roselia. Nobody is there anymore.

"I shouldn't go to sleep," I mumble to himself. It is not the time for pain and sorrow. I still got jobs to do and people to kill.

"Seamus where are we?"

"We are almost at our destination!" Wizards answers.

"Yeah but where?"

"Oh. Caverns of death."
